did you try going into printer settings of pagemaker ? is there a check accross the psc stating that it is the default output file ? it is either that or you are trying to print something your printer/installeed driver is unable to print . check adobe's site for any warnings on this printer and reload the driver of psc answering graphic related questions carefully.

Poster rated this answer.I have checked with Adobe site and I am still trying the suggestions listed on the site. The application(Adobe Pagemaker) will print a rectangle/square ok but will not print a page of text. However the apllication (Adobe Pagemaker) prints the pages of text to a different printer.N.B.: All other applications print to the same printer HP PSC 1350.

digitalshy , I read your comments . Only one thing is left . Pagemaker has a bug involving psc 1350 driver . You say :1. can print from other apps2. is defalt printer3. printing only text .To prove that pagemaker has a fault under windows : go out to dos command promt and type the command :c:>type hello > lpt1 as your printer is most probably connected to the first printer port . If it prints then the above is true . Even print a text file that you created with edit command . a longer page written out correctly will prove our point .

Well if that is the case there is defiantly an issue with the printer and the program if it will print to other printers and not your default printer there has to be something about that printer that is unsupported or the page is attempting to print beyond the range of the printer {that means it is attempting to print wider or longer than the actual printer can on a given page.}

What font are you using? Did you try something like Times or Courier. These are fonts your OS uses, Adobe uses and your printer will definitely not have a problem with them. When we had this problem the font turned out to be the problem. Also, maybe try a different driver for your printer.
